The study here excludes judges such as Circuit Judges, Per Diem Judges, District Judges, District Family Judges, Associate Judges, Associate Justices and the Chief Justice, as they are included in a separate study.
The US Census considers Hispanic as an ethnicity not a race, so there can be Hispanic White, Hispanic Black, Hispanic Asian, etc. For the purpose of this study, we consider Hispanic as a race to make a fair comparison between the Judiciary and the state population. The data of the different non-Hispanic race categories from the US Census are taken from the non-Hispanic section.
For the Judiciary data, Chinese, Japanese, Filipino and Korean are considered Asian. Hawaiian/Part Hawaiian and South Pacific Islander are categorized as Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, American Indian as American Indian and Alaska Native, African American/Black as Black or African American, and finally, Other is grouped with Two or More Races as Other/Two or More Races.
For the simplicity of this study, the genders are divided into Male and Female. One entry is omitted due to a selection outside of these two choices, or possibly due to an error.
The Male or Female gender plot shows the race distribution % across either all Judiciary employees (green or purple) or the state population (light green or light purple). However, bars of the same color will not sum up to 100% unless we also add all the % from the opposite gender plot.
Observations:
There are 3 plots in this diagram, toggled via the drop-down list. The Total plot (both male and female) shows the race distribution % across the Judiciary (brown) and across the State of Hawaii (khaki).
There are more than twice as many female employees (68.0%) as male employees (32.0%) in the Judiciary.
48.7% of the Judiciary employees are Asian, as compared to 36.2% of the state population.
The % of Black or African American in the Judiciary and in the state population are roughly the same at 2%.
The Judiciary employs far lower % of Hispanic as compared to the Hispanic % of the state population, 2.6% vs 10.1%.

Between Supervising Professionals and Non-Supervising Professionals in the Hawaii State Judiciary
Important Notes:
There are a total of 653 Professionals in the Judiciary. However, the numbers of supervisors and non-supervisors don’t add up because we have 15 uncategorized employees with the following short description of job titles: CJRI Proj, ATTY-PRGM2, CTADM 1, ASST DE PR, LAW LIB, APRN I, CAP IMP AD, SC OP OF/B, JUV COUNS4, ARCHITECTV or job codes [43204, 72249, 72262, 73909, 74089, 75455, 79013, 72277, 73114, 76105]. Currently, they are left out in this study until a proper categorization can be determined.
There are again 3 plots in this diagram, toggled via the drop-down list. The Total plot (both male and female) shows the race distribution % across either all Professionals (dark brown), all supervisors (orange), or all non-supervisors (khaki) within the Judiciary. Bars of the same color will sum up to 100%.
The Male or Female gender plot shows the race distribution % across either all Professionals (dark green or dark purple), all supervisors (green or purple), or all non-supervisors (light green or light purple) within the Judiciary. However, bars of the same color will not sum up to 100% unless we also add all the % from the opposite gender plot.
Observations:
Among the Professionals, 64.3% are female, and 35.7% are male, as compared to the ratio of female employees (68.0%) and male employees (32.0%) of the whole Judiciary.
A little less than half (45.5%) of all professionals are Asian, and more than half of the supervisors (53%) are Asian.
There is almost double the % of professionals as female than male among Asians; the same trend is observed among Asian supervisors.
The % of non-supervisors who are Hispanic is more than doubled than that of Hispanic supervisors.
There is roughly the same percentage (11%) of professionals, supervisors and non-supervisors who are Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander females.
